From Forest to Farmland: Species Richness Patterns of Trees and Understorey Plants along a Gradient of Forest Conversion in Southwestern Cameroon (2006, background): “Such management would also be beneficial for other taxa: there are strong correlations between tree diversity and diversity of birds and other forest-dependent biota (Waltert et al. 2005; Schulze et al. 2004a).”
Bird diversity in cacao farms and forest fragments of western Panama (2007, result): “In particular, we found very few understory insectivores in cacao farms, a similar finding to previous reports from shaded agrosystems (Canaday 1996; Faria et al. 2006; Waltert et al. 2005; Gonzalez and Harvey 2007, this issue).”
High Bird Species Diversity in Structurally Heterogeneous Farmland in Western Kenya (2012, background): “In contrast to insectivores, frugivorous and omnivorous species are less habitat-specific and thus are more tolerant to habitat alteration (Waltert et al. 2005, Gomes et al. 2008).”
Food resources and vegetation structure mediate climatic effects on species richness of birds (2014, background): “While vegetation provides a crucial structural element for birds in terrestrial ecosystems through the provision of shelter, nesting sites and foraging substrate (MacArthur & MacArthur, 1961), several studies have recorded a stronger dependence on vegetation structure for insectivorous than for frug”
Biodiversity in small-scale tropical agroforests: a review of species richness and abundance shifts and the factors influencing them (2008, background): “We also excluded studies that compared only crop diversity between agroforests (one exception was Kehlenbeck & Maass 2004, which also considered ornamentals and ‘weeds’), studies that considered only tree sprouts (Kammesheidt 1998) and studies in which land-use description did not describe agricultu”
Bird functional diversity and ecosystem services in tropical forests, agroforests and agricultural areas (2012, unknown): “There is growing interest in avian functional diversity in tropical forests and agroecosytems, especially in tree-dominated agroforestry systems such as shade coffee and cacao plantations that harbor higher bird diversity than open agricultural systems with few or no trees (Thiollay 1995; Greenberg ”
